Portret van Pieter de Frans 1670 - 1713

This engraving, titled "Portret van Pieter de Frans", was created by Dutch artist Pieter Schenk between 1670 and 1713. It depicts a man, likely Pieter de Frans, in a formal portrait, a popular genre of the era. Schenk uses detailed hatching to render the sitter's features and clothing, including his elaborate wig and lace cravat, in a realistic style. The oval frame and Latin inscription emphasize the subject's importance and likely contribute to the image's historical value. Now located in the Rijksmuseum, the engraving measures 275 mm in height and 203 mm in width.
